The spray, which will be sold under the brand name neffy, was approved for use in adult and pediatric patients who weigh at least 30 kilograms.
Neffy is seen as an alternative to EpiPen and other autoinjectors like Kaleo's Auvi-Q that are filled with epinephrine, a life-saving drug used by people at risk of anaphylaxis and other allergic reactions.
Shares of ARS Pharmaceuticals rose about 3% after the FDA's decision.
